Results for FightBox KOK Hero’s Series in Vilnius, Lithuania 16.03.2019

King of Kings returned to live action on FightBox HD in front of a massive crowd of over 10,000 fans live in attendance at Siemens Arena in Vilnius, Lithuania. FightBox showed the first three parts of the event live. The fourth and final part, the “KOK World Championship” will be rebroadcast in about one month’s time.

The featured bout of the evening was a KOK Lightweight Title Fight with champion Vitalie Matei defending against the number one lightweight contender, Henrikas Viksraitis. This was the fight that almost didn’t happen after Viksraitis failed to make weight. When he stepped on the scales on Friday afternoon he weighed 72.8 kilos. However, he did eventually manage to make the 71 kilo weight limit within the contracted time, even shaving off his beard to lose the last 100 grams. The fight ended up going the full five rounds in a closely contended battle.

Also on the card was the return to action of Julija Stoliarenko after reaching the semi-finals of the UFC’s Ultimate Fighter“Heavy Hitters” reality show last fall. Evladas Petrauskas was back in the KOK ring again after recovering from a hand injury late last year in his second professional boxing bout since winning a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympic Gamesin London. The full results for the evening can be found below.

The next live KOK event on FightBox will be in two weeks in Istanbul, Turkey. Kickboxing legend Albert Kraus will headline the event. The next live event on FightBox HD will be LNK Boxing from Riga, Latvia this coming Saturday March 23rd. To see a list of upcoming live events on FightBox, click here.
